Guard
Swordmaster's Guard
Sword Guard has low overall defenses, but increases charge rate.
Overview
Sword guard with low defense that increases charge rate. It is for aggressive sword play, where quick charges matter more than blocking. It rolls on many swords, for example Quickfang and Sola's Scar. The opposite option is Heavy Guard, which trades charge rate for high defense.
Effect
The charge rate bonus varies by roll. On one PvE god roll of Just in Case, the guard shows Charge Rate +10, Guard Resistance +10 and Guard Endurance +40.
Tips
The same god roll is built around a Solar sword for PvE, where frequent high-damage light attacks are the goal.
